The Focus Initiative

The Joanne Angle Investigator Award provides funding for research investigating public health related to eye health and safety. Applications will be accepted in the following priority areas in adult vision, children’s vision, or eye injury:

Burden/economic aspects of eye disease/vision loss on society

Best practices to integrate vision screening/follow up care to system care access

Vision program effectiveness/evaluation

All research grants need to promote the core mission of Prevent Blindness – preventing blindness and preserving sight. Basic laboratory science research will not be supported under this program.

Please note our application cycle will be changing and the next call for applications will be around November 2018. Further information will be posted later in 2018.
